	Media	Author	Review
		Dave Kehr Chicago Tribune	"It's a movie that doesn't have an original thought in its head, and seems to like it that way"
		The Washington Post	"What's happening on-screen is dull and predictable"
		Time Out	"As usual, Hyams makes good use of the locations, and stages the stunt sequences with great skill, but his handling of the romance and father/daughter conflicts is at best uncertain"
		Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times	"The whole movie has the feeling of a clone, of a film assembled out of spare parts from other movies"
		Michael Wilmington Los Angeles Times	"Ultra-slick, ultra-flat movie that cuts like a cellophane knife. No edge, no blood"
		Rick Groen The Globe and Mail	"A formula flick that can't even manage its own simple arithmetic"
